Edible audible

Chew on this: The Mohnton, Pa., group Innerpartysystem is poised to become the first band ever (at least that’s what the press release says) to put out a 7-inch single made entirely of chocolate. Sadly, the single, “Don’t Stop,” is being released in the U.K. and the run is limited to 100 copies. And I’m hungry. 


Stomp comp

The Fairdale, Ky.-based organization Stomp Out Cancer is looking or a few good bands to contribute songs to its upcoming compilation CD. Interested scribes can contact Jake Wheat, Stomp Out Cancer Inc., Jake A. Wheat, P.O. Box 216, Fairdale, Ky., 40118, call 489-1501 or e-mail [email protected].
